FAQs

What is the working time for Metolux 2 Part SF Wood Filler?

The working time depends on the ambient temperature and the ratio of hardener used. Generally, it offers a workable period that allows for application before it begins to set. Always refer to the product's specific instructions for precise timings.

Can I use this filler for exterior repairs?

Yes, the Metolux 2 Part SF Wood Filler is weatherproof and suitable for both interior and exterior applications. Its durable formulation helps withstand environmental conditions.

How long does it take to fully cure?

Full curing time varies with temperature and humidity. Typically, it becomes sandable within a few hours, but full strength and hardness are achieved after 24 hours. Allow adequate time before painting or staining.

What is the difference between this and a single-part wood filler?

This is a two-part system, meaning it requires mixing two components (filler and hardener) to initiate a chemical curing process, resulting in a much stronger, more durable, and less shrinkable repair compared to single-part, air-drying fillers.

Can I sand this filler after it cures?

Yes, the filler is designed to be easily sanded to a smooth finish, allowing you to shape it and prepare it for painting or staining.

What colors are available?

This specific product is white. However, Metolux offers 2 Part SF Wood Filler in a range of pre-coloured shades to match different wood types, such as mahogany, light oak, teak, and redwood.

How should I store the unused filler?

Store the filler and hardener in their original, tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lids are securely fastened.

Troubleshooting

Filler not hardening or curing slowly

Ensure the hardener was mixed in the correct ratio and thoroughly blended with the filler. Check storage conditions, as extreme cold can affect curing. Avoid using in very low temperatures.

Filler is too hard to work with

The hardener may have been mixed in too high a ratio, or the working time was exceeded. Use only the recommended amount of hardener and mix only what you can use within the working time.

Cracking or shrinking after application

This can occur if the filler was applied too thickly in one layer or if the surface was not properly prepared. For deep repairs, apply in multiple thinner layers, allowing each to partially set. Ensure the wood surface is clean and sound.

Poor adhesion to the wood

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure the wood is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint. Lightly abrading the surface can improve adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the Metolux 2 Part SF Wood Filler, first ensure the repair area is clean, dry, and free from dust or loose debris. Accurately measure and mix the filler and hardener according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically a small ratio for the hardener to control the working time. Apply the mixed filler to the imperfection using a putty knife or spreader, pressing firmly to ensure good adhesion and fill the void completely. Allow the filler to cure fully before proceeding.

Compatibility: This wood filler is designed for use on wood and is compatible with most common wood types. It accepts all known paint systems, varnishes, and stains once cured. Ensure compatibility with any specific finishing products you intend to use.

Care: Store the product in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures. Clean tools immediately after use with a suitable solvent, as the filler will harden on tools if left uncleaned. Wipe up any spills promptly. The product is weatherproof for interior and exterior use once cured.
